drahkon Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Crap, there goes my money again...Since PSOne games will be playable on Vita later this summer I just have to get pretty much every FF Game
Cube Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I don't like calling it "free". It's more: We get Deus Ex Human Revolution and two more games for £3.33. It's like BBM - a free service for a £5 a month fee.
Hero-of-Time Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Crap, there goes my money again...Since PSOne games will be playable on Vita later this summer I just have to get pretty much every FF Game I've transferred most of them on to my PSP. Just need VI and IX and then the collection is complete. They are a great bargain though, especially if you have PS+. I mean £4 for a mainline FF game is outstanding.
drahkon Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I mean £4 for a mainline FF game is outstanding. So the prices are only for PS+ members? I definitely need FFIX (was my first FF game and it's still my favourite) and FFVIII. Front Mission 3 is also good. So I'm told.

drahkon Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 £7.99 for non PS+ users. £3.99 for PS+ subscribers. Seems like a good time to subscribe to PS+. Is it really worth it? How many months do I have to pay for?
Hero-of-Time Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Seems like a good time to subscribe to PS+. Is it really worth it? How many months do I have to pay for? You can just buy 1 month ( or is it 3 ) and call it quits. As far as I know as long as you buy the games, regardless whether they are on sale or not, you will still keep them when your subscription is up.
Sheikah Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 PS Plus is incredibly worth it. I'm half tempted to type a list of stuff that I've really enjoyed and got for free or for less money but that would take me ages.
Hero-of-Time Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Will think about it. Seems pretty neat. I had a quick check and 3 months is £11.99.
Aimless Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I don't like calling it "free". It's not free, it's inclusive. I guess that doesn't have the same buzz to it, though. I'm pretty sure I've saved more than I paid for Plus purely through discounts, let alone the inclusive content. Obviously your mileage may vary, but for a heavy user it's an amazing deal.
Cube Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I'm not saying that it isn't an amazing deal, because it is. It's even more amazing for someone like me who was late in getting a bit PS3.
Sheikah Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Well inFamous 2 must be worth around half of the £40 yearly cost so there's clearly pretty big savings to be made. I'd say there's probably been at least £100 worth of stuff I'd have actually bought anyway that I got for that £30~ or so (signed up when it was on offer and when ShopTo were selling PSN cards for a couple of pounds cheaper than their value). In fact that's probably a really conservative estimate.
Aimless Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I'm not saying that it isn't an amazing deal, because it is. It's even more amazing for someone like me who was late in getting a bit PS3. Sorry, the value talk was more aimed at dr4hkon. I should have been clearer. Worth mentioning that Space Marine and Chime will be cycled out of Plus come July 18th to make way for two new games, so be sure to 'purchase' them before then.
Sheikah Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Oh Persona 3 Portable has gone down to £14. I will probably buy it, I know it's good.
Deathjam Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 When does ps+ get updated? I have a sneaky suspicion it's on the Wednesday when I am always out. I NEED FFVI in my life again and have been waiting for this sort of deal. Will get VIII and IX too (got VII on disc but dont much like it anyways) and possibly front mission 3 as I never finished it. Oh and chime is awesome. Can see myself getting addicted to that. More people need to try out virtua fighter 5. It's an awesome 3d beat-em-up and probably my favourite of them all.
flameboy Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Oh Persona 3 Portable has gone down to £14. I will probably buy it, I know it's good. Yeah I've picked it up after @Happenstance and his recommendation....
Retro_Link Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 If you sign up can you go back and buy stuff that has been offered on PS+ in previous months?
Cube Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 If you sign up can you go back and buy stuff that has been offered on PS+ in previous months? No. You also don't get the stuff instantly added to your account, you still have to "purchase" them for free from the PS Store. One you have "bought" them you can download them until you stop your subscription.
Tales Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 For future offers, it is enough to make them appear in the download history. If you don't the offer will eventually go away and you will lose the possibility to download them(if you wanted them to begin with). You probably don't have to finish the download or even start the download. As long as it is appear in the download history you can download it whenever you want in the future.
Hero-of-Time Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 More people need to try out virtua fighter 5. It's an awesome 3d beat-em-up and probably my favourite of them all. I had a blast on it over the weekend. Seeing as it was free, I downloaded, got all of the trophies off it ( which are stupidly easy ) and then deleted it.
Hero-of-Time Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Super Slim PS3 on the cards? http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-07-05-documents-appear-to-show-ps3-super-slim
Cube Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Hmm...makes me think of something Sony could do with this and Gakai. I think Gakai will be exclusive to the PS3 and PS4 (perhaps there will be a version that runs Ps1/2/PSP/Vita games on Vita). Now, the PS4 will likely be an expensive bit of kit. Sony themselves tend to make a loss on the console itself and it means they have to create their userbase from scratch. Now, Sony will still release a console. It creates a "standard" for all games (making it easier for developers), and allows people who either prefer retail games or don't have a good enough internet connection to play the games. However, I also think Sony will allow all owners of the Ps3 to buy and play PS4 games through Gakai, meaning that the Ps4 would start with a potentially massive userbase. This "super slim" console may be released at a similar time to the PS4, be mega cheap and be advertised for the Gakai (the name will change) and it's ability to play PS4 games through it. Perhaps even give it an overhauled interface more in line with their PS4 plans. And to allow games to be gifted and stuff still, I would expect PS4 discs to be recognised by the PS3, and you can play them through the Gakai service at no additional cost (there would likely be an "online pass" so you can only use the disc on one account).
